Run, Rose, Run by Dolly Parton & James Patterson.

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson.

"Cussy Mary Carter is the last of her kind, her skin the color of a blue damselfly in these dusty hills. But that doesn't mean she's got nothing to offer. As a member of the Pack Horse Library Project, Cussy delivers books to the hill folk of Troublesome, hoping to spread learning in these desperate times. But not everyone is so keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and the hardscrabble Kentuckians are quick to blame a Blue for any trouble in their small town. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's determination to bring a little bit of hope to the darkly hollers."-- Provided by publisher.

 

An Amish Flower Farm by Mindy Steele.

Belinda Graber loves growing flowers for her family to sell at the Amish market. Selling them in town, though, is out of the question. People would stare at the birthmark on her cheek, and she's dealt with enough teasing in her life. As a beekeeper, Adam Fisher knows how blessed he is to live next door to the Grabers' fields of flowers. But when his father is injured, Adam has to take a job at the local mill. How will he manage the honey harvest? Adam and Belinda make a deal: if she tends his hives, he'll sell her flowers in town. Before long, Adam's shy neighbor is charming the bees...or is he the one being charmed? Because his last courtship ended badly, Adam tells himself this arrangement is strictly business, even if Belinda is sweet as honey.

Frommer’s EasyGuide to Disney World, Universal & Orlando by Jason Cochran.

Preparing for an Orlando vacation can be a full-time job, and it costs a small fortune. Most other books on the market make the problem worse, burying vacationers in endless pages of pointless details unquestioningly cheering for the high-priced theme parks and resorts. But the lightweight, fact-packed Frommer's EasyGuide cuts through the noise and compresses the information you truly need to know. No other book does what we do: Honest talk, solid essentials all updated after the pandemic lockdowns, and affectionate insider secrets to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and the inimitable culture and history of Orlando and Central Florida. This groundbreaking Orlando guide was named Guide Book of the Year by the Society of American Travel Writers for creating it. Author Jason Cochran started going to Orlando as a child in the early 1970s and he keeps you on top of the newest developments in this ever-shifting tourist scene. He wants to help you master the parks with a minimum of anxiety and expense.

No other book is as comprehensive while remaining so concise and so honest. No other book synthesizes advice, history, and good sense in such an easy-to-read format. It's smart―like you.
